What is the Difference between Affirmative Action, Equal Employment Opportunity and Diversity Management??

a particular skill category. Efforts are made to ensure the workforce is reflective
of the population at large.

Equal Opportunity - the laws, regulations and court decisions that prohibit
employment decisions that are based solely on race, color, national origin,
gender, disability, religion, age.

Diversity - an all inclusive culture where the unique cultures, beliefs,
values, skills, attributes, characteristics and similarities of all people
are appreciated and valued

Diversity Management - the process of establishing and maintaining a positive
environment where the differences of all people are appreciated and valued
and where all individuals are empowered to reach their full potential and
maximize their contributions.
